The first wooden theatre building erected by Bogusławski in 1801 fell apart after 15 years. In the 1830s, the theatre was rebuilt in its current location, but it burned down in a city fire in April 1858. For over 40 years, performances were held in a riding school adapted for this purpose, and later in a temporary wooden winter theatre. In the years 1896–1900, a neo-Renaissance theatre building was erected according to the design of Józef Chrzanowski. The building was burned down by the Germans during the demolition of Kalisz in 1914. In 1920, construction of the current building began and lasted 16 years, according to the design of Czesław Przybylski.
